Online Safety & Online Security - Cyber Safe Warwickshire

What we do

Every year we’re able to do more and more online. From sending messages to sorting out our finances, today we can do it from our phones and tablets wherever we are. But the more we can do online, the more we’re exposed to hazards. Cybersafe is here to help you stay safe online, so you can browse to your heart’s content, knowing you’re protected against scams, fraud and security problems.

Received an email about your account? Always go to the site or service through a known and trusted method, to verify the authenticity of the account issue. NEVER click on the links or attachments in unexpected emails. #CyberProtect #PhishingEmail #ActionFraud #Email #Scam

If someone claims to represent a charity, ask them for ID. Be suspicious of requests for money up front. If someone attempts to pressurise you into accepting a service, they are unlikely to be genuine. #ScamAware #Coronavirus

Urgent-sounding messages are a common tactic used by criminals. If you get a text or email asking for your personal or financial details, here's what you need to do..... #CyberProtect

Be aware of people offering shopping or medication collection services. Don’t assume everyone is genuine. It’s okay to reject, refuse or ignore any requests. Only criminals will try to rush or panic you. #ScamAware #Coronavirus

Devices can be corrupted by criminal malicious ransomware on your computer that blocks and holds your data. Data backup to an external hardrive or cloud-based storage can help you protect and restore your data when something goes wrong! #CyberProtect #CyberSecurity #ActionFraud
